MESUT Ozil has been told to leave Arsenal for Paris Saint-Germain… then AC Milan… and then Bayern Munich.

The playmaker’s first club, Rot-Weiss Essen, have cashed in every time Ozil joins a new team, and chairman Michael Welling already has the German’s future planned out.

Ozil has become a key player at the Emirates following a £42.5million switch from Real Madrid in 2013, with the transfer helping Essen increase their annual budget by a tenth.

The fourth-tier German side also received a cash injection when Real paid £12.5m to sign Ozil from Werder Bremen in 2010, and chairman Welling hopes the 27-year-old continues to move from one big name to the next in order to keep the money rolling in.

Welling told Standard Sport: “We say that for the personal development of Mesut, it’s very important that he lives a year or two in Paris.

“He needs to see the art, to experience the French lifestyle and bring his World Cup experience to PSG. Mesut has to in Paris for at least a year. Of course he’ll have to go on to Italy. AC Milan would be great.

“I’m pretty sure Bayern Munich would be a very good target for Mesut after Serie A. He’s said he wants to play in Istanbul and then, as you know, America is the place to develop your brand, and Mesut is a brand.

“After that, well China is paying a lot for players, isn’t it? It’s a simple career plan for Mesut, every year a big transfer to a European club. If he does that he can be an honorary member of our club.

“He was educated in our youth academy for five years; everybody knows Mesut learned all his basics at our club. The career development of Mesut is of enormous pride to us, a lot of our players dream of being a Bundesliga player and world-class.

“Mesut inspires them but they also see he combined talent with hard work. It’s something that’s within our culture here. He’s an idol and a role model for our players."

“Arsenal got over Thierry Henry, they’ll get over Mesut. I can understand that they’re addicted to Mesut; he’s committed himself to the club. Being a football fan first I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for Arsenal.

“Even though the Manchester clubs have new coaches and Jurgen Klopp is coaching Liverpool, hopefully Arsenal will be English champions next year. Then Mesut can move on to PSG!”
